There once was a man who fell in love with the most beautiful woman in the world. And this was as infinite a fall as there can possibly be, for in his determination to reach the most unreachable places of her soul, the falling man recognized no bounds or limitations. The only thing he recognized was that the value of her soul was equal to, if not greater tha...
I miss you. Laying here in the bed we once shared, I am clinging to a shirt with traces of your smell, pretending you are here with me. Your arms wrapped around my body, I am wearing a T-shirt barely covering my nakedness from you.

The French, with their inventive pornographic imagination, used the name of this bird to describe a husband who nurtures, as his own, the offspring resulting from a deposit in his nest by another man.
